Michael Narvey

Dr. Michael Narvey, a leading neonatologist and vice president of the Canadian Paediatric Society, challenges the necessity of pre-discharge car seat testing for newborns. He argues that the test fails to represent real-world scenarios and lacks substantial evidence of life-saving benefits. Drawing from decades of autopsy data, he highlights that rare car seat-related deaths stem from unsupervised asphyxiation, not from travel incidents. Narvey advocates for better car seat education and proper positioning instead of routine testing.
